I feel like if anything this would just turn people against your cause.
- bell-cot 4y agoYes, in many cases. Assume that their real objective to is to quickly (1) score points for high-profile performative activism, and (2) vent their emotions.
- 1ris 4y agoIt's like telling people you are burning a puppy with napalm "for demonstrating the effect" at an anti-viet-nam-war-protests. First people get crazy angry at you, then they change their attitude about napalm.
- bell-cot 4y agoPerhaps. But convincing the military to replace napalm with a variety of other weapons - also designed to hellishly maim and kill people - is not exactly a huge moral victory, nor a big defeat for them. Vs. the big oil companies, culture-war conservatives, etc. might be considerably more invested in giving little ground on climate change.
- unglaublich 4y agoNot caring about the cause is effectively the same as being against it. So there is nothing to lose, much to win.
- renewiltord 4y agoConsidering the this seems like a straightforward outcome to you, what would you do if you desired that outcome?
